Olivia Rodrigo, is that really you, or did a rocker girl from 1996 time travel to star in your new music video? Despite the fact that the musician has only been in the spotlight for a few years, she’s already nailed her signature look: long, dark hair, winged liner, and red lipstick. However, for the new music video for her song “Obsessed,” Rodrigo deviated from her usual beauty formula with short, choppy bangs that basically turn her into a different person entirely.
In the video, Rodrigo sings about being jealous of and obsessed with her partner’s ex-girlfriend, dressed in her usual punky all-black against the debutantes and pageant queens. Her hair is long and loose per usual, but enhanced by fresh set of choppy, perfectly imperfect bangs. The fringe hits just above her brows; this isn’t a thick, full retro bang, but instead a choppy, wispier texture to add to the rock chick vibe of the song and video. Two small braids on either side of the bangs really highlight the new fringe and look exactly like something I wore to elementary school in the mid-’90s. (Same with those chunky Mary Janes.)
